Adaptable landscape light

Abstract

An adaptable landscape light designed to be used with ½ inch or 3-inch diameter poles. The light includes a light housing with a cylindrical-shaped lower base. Formed on the lower base is a downward extending cavity. Three downward extending tabs are radially and equally spaced apart around the lower base. Each tab includes a threaded bore through which a threaded connector may be selectively attached. Included with the light is a conical-shaped adaptor with a cylindrical-shaped upper section designed to fit into the downward extending cavity formed inside the lower base. Formed on the adaptor is a narrow, centrally aligned neck member with a longitudinally aligned threaded bore formed therein. Formed on the sidewalls of the upper cylindrical section are threaded bores which are aligned with the threaded bores formed on the tabs or sidewalls of the lower base. During use, the upper cylindrical section is inserted into the lower cavity and attached thereto via the threaded connectors extended through the bores formed on the tabs and upper cylindrical section. A narrow, complementary-shaped threaded conduit may be connected to the neck member. If a wide conduit is desired, the adaptor is removed so that the wide conduit may be directly attached to the lower base.

I claim:  
     
       1. An adaptable landscape light for attaching a three-inch or ½-inch diameter pole, comprising: 
       a. a light housing including a cylindrical shaped lower base, said lower base including a downward extending, cylindrical-shaped cavity, said cavity being approximately three inches in diameter, said light housing member capable of slidingly connecting to a three inch diameter pole;  
       b. a removable adaptor with a cylindrical-shaped upper section and an integrally formed lower narrow neck member, said upper section capable of slidingly connecting to said cavity in said light housing, said lower narrow neck member being approximately ½ inch in diameter and capable of slidingly connecting to a ½-inch pole;  
       c. a means for selectively connecting said upper section of said adaptor to said cavity on said lower base on said light housing; and,  
       d. a means for selectively connecting said neck member to a ½-inch diameter pole.  
     
     
       2. The landscape light, as recited in  claim 1 , whereby said means for attaching said upper section to said cavity is at least one first threaded bore formed on said lower base on said light housing and a second threaded bore formed on said upper section of said adaptor and a threaded connector, said threaded connector capable of connecting to said bores when said upper section is inserted into said light housing, and said first threaded bore and said second threaded bore are aligned and registered. 
     
     
       3. The landscape light, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said means for selectively connecting said neck member to a narrow conduit is a threaded bore capable of connecting to threads formed on a ½ inch diameter conduit. 
     
     
       4. The landscape light, as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said means for selectively connecting said neck member to a narrow conduit is a threaded bore capable of connecting to threads formed on a ½ inch diameter conduit.
